err.. hhtee, u ere in england during the mad cow too ah? me too lah, i can't go to gov hos to donate also, only in private, when i ask why, they say gov hos vely slow in understanding that if u don't get mad in a few yrs time, then u won't get mad cow .
err..doggy, try not to donate all over the place, stick to the closest hospital (i.e the one you will go to when emergency), if u get complication like ur hand bengkak after donating, they will treat u for free n aso they give out free blood test every year if ur a regular.

is that true with sjmc? do both private & public hospitals have blood donations as their only source of getting blood?

does anyone know the procedure to donating blood in sjmc? like what day/time, any conditions (other than the usual conditions prior to donating blood), etc?

err.. it's true for sjmc, bcos i m a regular there, they open 8.30am to 5pm mon - fri, 8.30am to 12pm sat i think (never go on sat as too crowded), they screen ur blood first when u first donate to determine the blood type n suitability (i.e can tahan or not, u junkie etc..) then they give u a booklet to register ur donation.

err.. what other source they can get blood from ah?

happy donating

crowded? so many people donate blood ke? or have to wait along with the other patients seeking treatment?

national blood bank? though that also mmg from blood donors...

if private hospital get free blood, but they charge so much for their treatment etc, compared to public hospital, isn't it better to donate to public hospital then? i mean, it sounds like the private hospital untung - they charge so much for treatment, and then get free blood from the public... but i must say that i don't know much about blood donation and the system, if there is one.

1. Patient requires blood type X
2. You have blood type Y
3. You go and donate your blood.
4. The hospital have some sort of exchange system i.e. if loads of people donate for the patient, maybe they will exchange with other hospital. I am not sure.

Anyways, that's how I see SJMC. I have donated in SJMC and I can specify the names to whom I wanna donate to.

Jianwei85, could you please also let us know if I am correct i.e. if anybody of any blood type can donate?
